Dermaplaning device and related system

Abstract

A dermaplaning device and related system are disclosed. The dermaplaning device may include a longitudinally-extending handle having a first end defining a longitudinally-extending recess and an opposing second end. The dermaplaning device may further include a blade assembly having a top side engageable with the recess of the handle and an opposing bottom side including a blade with a cutting edge. The dermaplaning device may further include a lighting arrangement provided about the first end of the handle to illuminate at least a portion of the blade assembly engaged with the recess.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A derma planing device comprising:
 a longitudinally-extending handle having a first end defining a longitudinally-extending recess extending externally to the handle and along a length of the first end and an opposing second end; 
 a blade assembly having a top side engageable with the recess of the handle and an opposing bottom side comprising a blade with a cutting edge; 
 a lighting arrangement provided about the first end of the handle to illuminate at least a portion of the blade assembly engaged with the recess, the lighting arrangement comprising a light source in electric communication with a power source; and 
 a safety guard arranged over the cutting edge of the blade so as to limit a cutting depth of the blade; 
 wherein the blade assembly comprises a translucent material such that light from the light source passes through the translucent material of the blade assembly so as to illuminate the at least a portion of the blade assembly engaged with the recess and thereby illuminate a target area during use of the derma planing device. 
 
     
     
       2. The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a switch in electric communication with the power source, the switch being arranged to activate the power source and thereby illuminate at least a portion of the blade assembly when actuated. 
     
     
       3. The device of  claim 1 , wherein the light source is arranged on the first end of the handle and adjacent to the recess. 
     
     
       4. The device of  claim 1 , wherein the second end of the handle defines an internal compartment arranged to contain the power source. 
     
     
       5. The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a motor in electric communication with the power source and the blade, wherein the motor is configured to cause one or both of vibration and reciprocation of the blade upon actuation of the motor. 
     
     
       6. The device of  claim 1 , wherein the blade assembly is attachable to and removable from the first end of the handle. 
     
     
       7. The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a cover arrangeable about the first end of the handle so as to enclose at least the cutting edge of the blade. 
     
     
       8. The device of  claim 1 , wherein the blade assembly and the handle are engageable by magnets, a press fit, a snap fit, a twist lock, a biased lock, or combinations thereof. 
     
     
       9. The device of  claim 1 , further comprising an ejection button disposed on the handle, wherein actuation of the ejection button releases the blade assembly including the blade from engagement with the recess of the handle. 
     
     
       10. The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first end of the handle defining the recess is longitudinally offset from the opposing second end of the handle. 
     
     
       11. The device of  claim 1 , wherein the second end of the handle comprises a gripping region for a user to grip the dermaplaning device during use. 
     
     
       12. A dermaplaning system comprising:
 a derma planing device comprising: 
 a longitudinally-extending handle having a first end defining a longitudinally-extending recess extending externally to the handle and along a length of the first end and an opposing second end; 
 a blade assembly having a top side engageable with the recess of the handle and an opposing bottom side comprising a blade with a cutting edge; 
 a lighting arrangement provided about the first end of the handle to illuminate at least a portion of the blade assembly engaged with the recess, the lighting arrangement comprising a light source in electric communication with a power source; 
 a safety guard is arranged over the cutting edge of the blade so as to limit a cutting depth of the blade; 
 wherein the blade assembly comprises a translucent material such that light from the light source passes through the translucent material of the blade assembly so as to illuminate the at least a portion of the blade assembly engaged with the recess and thereby illuminate a target area during use of the derma planing device; and 
 a blade dispenser defining a plurality of cavities, each cavity being arranged to retain a blade therein and dispense the blade upon engagement of the top side of the blade with the recess of the derma planing device. 
 
     
     
       13. The system of  claim 12 , wherein the dermaplaning device comprises a switch in electric communication with the power source, the switch being arranged to activate the power source and thereby illuminate at least a portion of the blade assembly when actuated. 
     
     
       14. The system of  claim 12 , wherein the light source is arranged on the first end of the handle and adjacent to the recess. 
     
     
       15. The system of  claim 12 , wherein the dermaplaning device comprises a motor in electric communication with the power source and the blade, wherein the motor is configured to cause one or both of vibration and reciprocation of the blade upon actuation of the motor.
